Guardians Of The Galaxy 2: What We Know So Far

James Gunn

Prior to the first Guardians of the Galaxy, writer/director James Gunn never worked on a feature with a budget higher than $15 million, but any and all doubts about him as a blockbuster filmmaker were put to rest with the release of his first comic book movie. Throughout production, Gunn and Marvel got along famously, which is perhaps a big part of why he is back writing and directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The news was made official at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 when the director paired up with star Chris Pratt on a video presentation to announce the project's official release date a few weeks prior to the movie's release.

James Gunn has been very open and accessible to fans throughout the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's development - writing heartfelt letters, doing live chats, and even sharing crudely drawn storyboards. He has said that he has known for a very long time where a sequel to the first film would go, and in May 2017 we'll finally learn the extent of those plans.
